BYD on Tuesday unveiled its latest-generation plug-in hybrid platform DM-i 5.0. The milestone means that NEVs are now mainstream in the country, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu claimed on Tuesday, citing official figures (our translation). This gives its Qin L and Seal 06 compact sedans a driving range of 2,100 km on a full tank and full charge. Both models have five variants respectively, providing an all-electric driving range between 80 km and 120 km and are priced between RMB 99,800 and RMB 139,800. A week earlier, Chery launched the Fulwin T9, a plug-in hybrid crossover with a similar price range to BYD’s Song Plus, while Dongfeng unveiled its latest answer to the popular crossover, the Aeolus L7, with an estimated 1,500 km of driving range.
